90s Alt-Rock group Live wrote this song for their breakthrough album, but it didn't make the cut. The song is really cool. It's like a strange mix between a love ballad and a hard rock song. It's not necessarily the most lyrically interesting song on earth, but it's good enough to hold itself up nicely.
Movie of the Week: Zack and Miri Make a Porno
I finally saw this movie this past sunday, and I was so happy I did. I am a big fan of Kevin Smith's and I hadn't seen this for any reason. Smith's writing is gold again after a slightly (really, only slightly) less well-written last two movies. The real differences that you can see here as opposed to his other movies, is that with this movie, he's not really using his classic rat pack of actors. The two leads (Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks) are both very funny and have a very good chemistry on screen. Also, Smith has severely upped his visual game. It's great to see (no pun intended) that he is concerning himself with visuals now. The music is also perfect. All of it is great and very well suited to the scenes it it's attached to. The movie has it's corniness, but It's totally worth it. Plus the corniness to coolness ratio is like 1:20, making it totally worth it.
Album of the Week: The Black and White Album - The Hives
The Hives are a really cool band. Their music is like a garage rock type sound. It's honestly just a lot of fun. The Black and White Album (their fourth) is the most musically involved. There are more pop music ideas and more hooks. I'd guess it's because of The Neptunes' influence. The album works. The lyrics are frequently funny, and deeply involved in nearly hip-hop like swagger. One of the better records of last year.
